Reset login count

Confluence records the number of failed logins attempts made against each user account. When the login attempts exceed a preset number, the user is prompted to authenticate using CAPTCHA until they successfully log in.

If the user you're administering has any failed login attempts, you can manually set the failed login count for a user back to zero by clicking Reset Failed Login Count.

Multiple user directories

You can define multiple user directories in Confluence, so that Confluence looks in more than one place for its users and groups. For example, you could use the default Confluence
internal directoryand connect to an
LDAP directory server. In that case, you can define the
directory order to determine where Confluence looks first when processing users and groups.

Here is a summary of how the directory order affects the processing:

The order of the directories is the order in which they will be searched for users and groups.

Changes to users and groups will be made only in the first directory where the application has permission to make changes.
